What I would do (no guarantees that this will work) is just wipe it and reinstall it... rpm -e rpmdrake rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/rpmdrake-<version on the cd>.rpm I can't remember if rpmdrake has been patched, so check MandrakeUpdate afterwards or go to a mirror and download and manually install any updates you find. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and name services 25 email addresses@yourdomain CA$11.95/month DNS starting at CA$3.49/month - domains from CA$25.95/year for details contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://www.arcticbears.com
